Vacation rentals in Jebel Shams

Words would fall short if I begin to praise Anu. He was super super helpful. Made our stay extremely helpful and easy breezy. He not only gave stellar local recommendations and acted as personal guide, he helped us through our trip including when we called him from afar asking for help when our car broke down. Anu is a gem! He was super friendly and the place is super neat and comfortable. The rooms/linen/bathrooms, everything absolutely clean and tidy. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Loved our stay here. 10/10 would recommend and if I ever visit again, staying here itself again.

This is a large property in Saiq, Jebel Al Akhdar providing private accommodation in this very special village in the mountains. We were very well looked-after by Muntaser who showed us around the stunning landscape and local villages including Al Aqor, Wadi Bani Habib and Al Suwgra (now an exclusive boutique hotel clinging to the mountainside where your baggage has to be transported via zipwire across the valley). He kindly drove our car from place to place so that we could do as little or as much exploring on foot as we wished. His experience of driving on the insanely steep off-road tracks was invaluable - despite the Nissan Patrol being a very capable 4x4, I would have been too nervous to do this myself! The most special treat was being invited for قهوة (coffee) which was a great honour appreciated by the whole family. Thank you Saif!

we went to this beautiful place by Ishaq for a one night stay. we reached around 12.30pm after a 3 hours drive from Muscat. the caretakers were not really friendly initially, they were rude when we asked if we can use the washroom as there's no public amenities nearby. however i speak his language, so we didn't need much time to change his attitude. but i prefer a warm welcome to such a beautiful place than a rude behavior from the caretakers. the place is exactly how it looks on the pictures, so beautiful and elegant. it was so inspiring to see how the house is equipped with its unique furnishing and the architecture is amazing. we loved the idea of a Jacuzzi next to the bed, and an open bedroom etc. we spent most of our time near the campfire and enjoyed the weather (it was too cold in the night) overall a private luxury villa to have a good time with your friends or family.

Mohammed's house is neat and located perfectly just before the Balcony walk, the only reason I chose to stay there. The location is perfect and peaceful. Since we are vegetarian, we carried our own food, but there is an Omani family nextdoor who were offering home cooked meals. I plan to revisit next month with a friend visiting Muscat.

We loved staying here. It was truly a luxurious experience which was perfect for us on our relaxing stay in Nizwa. It is close by to the old city just an 8 minute drive (mainly taken up by needing to uturn as it’s on the other side of the highway). The pool and hot tub were fantastic and the rooms were wonderful. The place is extremely clean, smells amazing, is beautiful and looks better than the pictures! The bathrooms were also very comfortable and the amenities were great. Parking is also easy. At one point during the day one of the neighbors was doing construction and that night they also put unpleasant smelling fertilizer which made it more difficult for us to enjoy outside but the host assured us this is not typical and the smell was gone by the morning and we relaxed outside again. The host is also very responsive and forgiving and helped us a lot during our stay. If you are hesitating to book this place, do not hesitate. Book your stay with Azzan now and thank me later!

We had an exceptional stay at this villa in Jabal Akhdar! The place was very clean, spacious, and well-maintained, offering a perfect retreat in the mountains. The heated swimming pool was a fantastic feature, allowing us to relax and enjoy the cool climate in total comfort. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience. The caretaker was also very helpful, always available to assist with anything we needed. The location was perfect, with stunning views of the mountains and easy access to nearby attractions. It truly made our trip unforgettable. For the price, this villa was excellent value for money! We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this villa to anyone visiting Jabal Akhdar. Would definitely stay here again!

This beautiful house is very special because of its design and comfort! It has a nice garden right between the palm trees and we had a beautiful view from the big windows! The small village is definetly worth a a visit. I can only recommend to stay at this cottage to have an unique experience!

I feel so blessed to have had this wonderful experience at this vacation home. The scenery was breathtaking, and you’ll even notice something about the air is different out here. It’s in a great location, but a 4x4 vehicle is a must—we learned the hard way when our SUV wasn’t approved to come up . It’s difficult to find taxis the walks weren’t bad at all, about 15 mins to restaurants and shops. This stay was the perfect escape from the busyness of Muscat. The home was immaculate, with beautiful outdoor seating areas to enjoy nature. I even spotted a shooting star!! The sky is so beautiful at night. Overall, it was an incredible experience and I’d return in a heartbeat!

We loved our stay at the Pool Villa. What a luxurious treat after a couple of days in the mountains.
